Tickets for the Rolling Stones British Summer Time Hyde Park gig have reportedly sold out in less than five minutes – although the band have faced criticism over the price of the show.

According to reports all 65,000 tickets for the show, which will take place on July 6, were snapped up four-and-a-half minutes after they officially went on sale at 9am on Friday morning.

Rob Hallett of concert promoters AEG described the rapid sale as ‘incredible’.

‘Basically we sold 65,000 tickets in the speed the system could handle it,’ he said. ‘If the system could handle it in seconds we would probably have sold out in seconds.’

Speculation has since mounted that the band may announce a second show at the London park, which they last played in 1969, following the popularity of the July 6 gig.

However those who missed out on tickets have taken to Twitter to voice their disappointment – while others were quick to criticise the price of the tickets, which range from £95-£300.

‘I’d love to see The Rolling Stones but not enough to pay that sort of money!’ said one fan on Twitter, while another added: ‘I would love to have seen the rolling stones and bon jovi but I refuse to sell an internal organ to fund doing so.’

The ticket prices have sparked confusion among fans, with some suggesting that £300 ticket holders will be the ones who get to be nearest the front of the crowd, but a spokesman for the band has denied this.

‘As long as you get there early enough, you will be able to get to the front. There will be no privileged inner circle,’ he told The Sun.
